THE decision rendered by the Illinois
supreme court yesterday in the case of
the Chicago anarchists. appealed from the
Chicago circuit court, on conviction of
eight men of murder with the death
penalty for seven, is one of the most i'm
portant opinions that has ever been
handed down by a Judicial body. 1t
practically settles not only the fate of tt
seven anarchists condemned to death,
but the fate of the lawless element in
America as well. 1t is needless to recall
the course of the trial, which was one of
the most celebrated the country ever
knew. The trial, the verdict, the decis-
ion of the supreme court, all are an en-
phatic vindication of the supremacy of
the laws of the country. 1t is evidence
to all defers of law that this well regu-
lated. and well governed republic is no
place for them. II red flag followers

THE MEN WHO MUST HANG.


Most of Them NIarried-A Sad scene-How
They Bore the News.
CHICAGO, Sept 5-Nearly all of the
doomed Anarchists are married men-all, in
deed, except Lngg and Neebe and the latter
is q widower, Some time after the verdict in
the lower court was given, August Spies
married 10y proxy Miss Nina Van Zandt,
young lady of good family in this city, who
fell i'll love with him during the trial and
afterward visited him in jail Whether the
proxy marriage will stand is a mooted point,
but there is no doubt that the contracting
parties were in dead earnest and Miss Van
Zandt Tor Mrs. Spies has been devoted to her
husband since the marriage.
There was sad scene in Attorney Blacks
office when the news having become known
every where Miss Van Zandt, Mrs Engel and
others of the wives and friends of the doomed
men gathered there to see if the attorney
could give them ray Of hope. Capt Black
was dazed for moment when he heard the
news and was evidently deeply affected. He
said he would Immediately apply for tran
script to take the case to the supreme court
of the United States. 1t is supposed the
gro uud of the fight there will be the right of
free speech. The captain did what he could
to com fort the distressed people around him.
and sent them away with a faint CLEAN OF
hope in their hearts Mrs Parsons who is
if anything, more Out-and-out Anarchist
han any of the prisoners, declared she would
believe nothing of the report unless she saw
the official documents.
The prisoners were not without outside
communication. Spies received a dispatch
from one of his watchful friends at Ottawa a
few minutes before the official inform alton
was handed in
He read it eagerly for moment, and
mastering its contents did not by the faint
est indication betray that he was the re-
cpient of such terrible news He was the
only one of the condemned men that
was notified beforehand of the courts
decision, and he passed the dis
patch round for the remainder of
them to inspect Not muscle quivered, not
a hair trembled; they one and all sustained
themselves with Spartan fortitude They
withdrew little more within their cells, and
in less than quarter of an hour a casual Oh
server would not have been able to detect
anything unusual in their demeanor
Spies produced paper and read it with as
much composure As If sitting at his own
breakfast table. Schwab did likewise, and
the others abandoned themselves wholly to
meditation and the sOlace afforded by good
cigars
